Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

Can you change the default hyperlink color to purple? It's currently white and blends in with normal text.

Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

It's okay as it is, but actually now that I think about it, it might be better if it matched the blue of the (default) NewMidnight theme.

Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

Our registration process has zero means of stopping bots from registering. We need to implement CAPTCHA or something along those lines.

Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

being a longtime lurker from this site and the previous one I am going to have to say that I really hate it when forums get bot spammed. It takes away the fun and true essence of  a forum. that being said I am a really big fan of a lot of the work that you all have produced for our enjoyment/pleasure. Keep up the awesome work smile

Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

I've implemented a recaptcha-verification on registration. It just affects new users so maybe we already have a bunch of spambots that will post something in the next days. but at least no new ones can register.

Re: Problems & recommendations for the new forum

Were the deleted spammers registered after it was implemented?
